Chapter 102: Liu Hong caught an adulterer? The end of Duan Gui, one of the Ten Eunuchs!
Changqiu Palace, at the palace gate.

Emperor Liu Hong had a gloomy face and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty murderous intent.

"Duan Gui, are you sure that bitch betrayed me? She committed adultery in Changqiu Palace?"

Duan Gui was also one of the Ten Attendants, but he was not on the same page as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and was bribed by Yuan Huai very early on.

He also handled today's situation according to Yuan Shao's wishes.

Thinking that things have been done, no matter how the world changes in the future, I will always be protected, and a different kind of smile naturally spreads across the corners of my mouth.

"Yes, my men saw with their own eyes that General Ye Feng came to the harem late at night, and there were even obscene sounds of men and women in Changqiu Palace."

"To prevent Your Majesty from being deceived by treacherous ministers and traitors, this old servant risks his own life to give advice."

Liu Hong snorted coldly: "Break the door open."

"quick!!"

More than a hundred imperial guards around him were about to step forward.

"Creak."

The palace gate slowly opened.

The people who came out were not some little eunuchs, but the eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

The two men knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation: "We didn't know your Majesty was coming. We are sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive us."

Liu Hong's face, which had turned red due to anger, faded a lot.

With Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong here, he didn't believe that Empress He would dare to betray him.

As long as there is no green hat on your head, everything will be fine.

Duan Gui didn't expect Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to be here. Seeing the smiles on their faces, he felt like he was trapped in a trap.

But the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to change my tone now.

He could only say with a fake smile: "Master Zhang, Master Zhao, why are you here so late at night?"

"Is it intentional to cover up some shameful deeds?"

"Don't waste time here."

"Your Majesty, please come in quickly, and the situation will be clear to you."

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong felt a pang in their hearts. Their idea was to buy time for Queen He and Ye Feng inside.

They all heard the fierce "fighting" just now. If they can't delay, not only will they not be able to sell the favor, but they may also be implicated.

With narrowed eyes, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong asked coldly: "Duan Gui, what do you mean?"

"As servants, we are here to pay our respects to His Majesty. This is our duty. Why do you think I have ulterior motives?"

"Do you think the two of us would betray His Majesty?"

Duan Gui was stunned and didn't know how to start.

He could only continue to kneel before Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, what you hear is not as good as what you see."

“Only your own eyes will not deceive yourself.”

"Changqiu Palace has been surrounded. Once we go in, we will know the situation."

Zhang Rang frowned and said, "What if you are deliberately framing the master?"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this man's lies. I heard that he has been very close to Yuan Huai recently."

"Although I don't know what the purpose is, I definitely can't bypass it easily."

Seeing that such a chat would only delay time, the hesitation in Liu Hong's eyes became even stronger.

Duan Gui gritted his teeth and said, "If I can't find Ye Feng and get any evidence, I would rather die!"

"To enlighten the mind!"

Having said this, Liu Hong's eyes also showed a hint of determination.

"You two, get out of the way and follow me in."

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other and secretly groaned in their hearts. They didn't expect Duan Gui to be so desperate. Where did he get the courage?
I can only pray in my heart that Ye Feng and Queen He can leave in time, otherwise...
While the two were praying in their hearts, Duan Gui and his confidants had already impatiently pushed open the palace gate.

What caught my eye were two half-drunk cups of tea.

Duan Gui felt relieved. The Qiyin Hehuan Powder he prepared was a top-grade aphrodisiac. As long as he drank a sip, he would be unable to resist the balance of yin and yang, otherwise he would surely die.

Since Ye Feng and Queen He drank the medicinal wine, he is sure to win tonight.

Thinking of this, he rushed behind the curtain faster than Liu Hong.

At this moment, everyone present was worried.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were nervous. The situation in the court became more and more complicated. It was really difficult to train a capable and competent person like Ye Feng who was willing to work with their Ten Attendants. If this chess piece was gone, it would be even more difficult in the future.

Liu Hong was equally nervous. Firstly, he didn't want to be cheated on. Even though he hated Empress He and hadn't touched her for several years, he still didn't want anyone else to have a taste of this delicious dish.

Secondly, Ye Feng was the most capable assistant he had trained for the new emperor. If the target today was not Queen He, but any other palace maid or concubine, he would not even come.

"Duan Gui, you are so bold! I am changing my clothes, are you still trying to peek?"

The curtain was not drawn, but the gentle rebuke was heard.

In the past, Duan Gui would not dare to act presumptuously in front of Empress He, the master of the harem, but today.
A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You really think no one knows about the good things your Majesty has done?"

"Calling a man into the palace in the middle of the night and having an affair with him is intolerable."

"Pull away!"

"quick!!"

A few people in yellow clothes came forward and directly pulled open the curtain.

Empress He, who had just put on her clothes, had a slightly cold face. She glared at the yellow-robed girls fiercely and looked at Duan Gui: "What do you mean by summoning men into the palace?"

"What's the shady business?"

"I think you are so bold that you even want to deceive the master."

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!!"

Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety on his face faded away.

He looked at Duan Gui with a cold gaze: "What on earth is going on?"

"Didn't you say that General Ye Feng is here? Where is he?"

"Find it out for me!"

Duan Si's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and a bad feeling lingered in his heart.

He hurriedly took his confidants to search Changqiu Palace, leaving no brick, tile, blade of grass or tree unsearched.

But even so, there was still no trace of Ye Feng, not even anyone except Queen He.

This scene made Zhang Rang, who was confused, feel incredible.

They even suspected that they were dreaming and the obscene sounds were fake.

Duan Gui's face turned extremely pale, and he knelt down in front of Liu Hong helplessly: "Your Majesty, you must believe what I say."

"I saw Ye Feng enter Changqiu Palace with my own eyes, and even..."

Before he could finish his words, Empress He said coldly, "At this point, you still dare to slander me."

"I wanted to invite General Ye Feng, but he refused several times. How could he, an outsider, come to Changqiu Palace in the middle of the night?"

"Your Majesty, please make the decision and clear my name."

Duan Gui's fear became stronger. Feeling Liu Hong's cold gaze, he spoke again: "Ye Feng is definitely not at home at the moment. Your Majesty can send someone to summon him. If..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard hurried footsteps outside.

A yellow-robed eunuch came up to Liu Hong quickly and said, "Your Majesty, General Ye Feng caught a fleeing yellow-robed eunuch in the outer city. We found a letter on him that showed collusion between the eunuchs and the foreign officials."

"General Ye Feng is waiting outside the palace now."
